Windies selectors overlook Gayle again for Aussie tour

Antigua: The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and the national selectors have once again decided against selecting former captain and opener Chris Gayle for the forthcoming one-day and Twenty20 series against Australia.

A 30-member squad was announced on Thursday without Gayle, who hasn't played for the West Indies since last year''s World Cup because of a long-running dispute with the West Indies board.

The Sydney Morning Herald quoted the WICB, as saying that 17 contracted players, along with 13 others who are under consideration for selection, will participate in a two-week training camp in Barbados from March 1 to 12.
